2020 fruit trees and roses arrived in January and you can check our website or visit the nursery to see what we ordered… and only a few days ago, 2020 small bare-root plants arrived! While we pot up our roses and fruit trees upon arrival, small bare-root plants like strawberries and rhubarb lend themselves are sold truly bare-root… This is a very economical way to purchase these plants, and we select varieties that are known for good flavor and overall performance in the garden.

What We Ordered

Strawberries

Everbearing Strawberries:

“Everbearing strawberry plants begin to form flower buds when day length is 12 hours or more per day. True everbearing strawberry plants produce two to three separate yields of strawberries, one crop in spring to early summer, another crop in midsummer in cooler climates, and the last crop in late summer to early fall.” – https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/strawberry/everbearing-strawberry-plants.htm
